title: Arthrodesis of the knee: a baropodometric evaluation of the long-term results.
abstract: A study of plantar loading has a place in orthopaedic literature today thanks to the studies conducted by various authors (Stott et al., 1973; Braun et al., 1980, Corvi et al., 1985; Salsano et al., 1986; Pisani, 1987). It is the purpose of this study to report the results obtained by using the baropodometer to study the static and dynamic functions of the foot in patients who were submitted to arthrodesis of the knee 15 or more years ago.
